Customer Reviews

"I had pounded yam here and it is actually well pounded. I was surprised. Each wrap goes for N600, goat meat is N2000, fish is N1000 and they don’t have chunks of meat and inu eran (meat offal) which would have made the experience better"

"Nice place and tasty food but the staffs need to be more polite. They are rude, always frowning while attending to customers and sometimes will not even serve what someone orders. A staff even spilled stew on my dress and couldn’t even apologize hmmm"

"Good food, service need improvement but overall its a good place to eat and have get your food from"
